Abstract:

An antimicrobial protein was obtained from the fermentation broth of a Paenibacillus polymyxa strain isolated from the sea area near Lianyungang (numbered L1-9), which has antagonic effect against a variety of pathogenic fungi, after ammonium sulfate precipitation and DEAE Sepharose Fast Flow ion exchange and Sephacryl G-200 filtration chromatographic separation. This protein was found to have the ability to inhibit the growth of Staphyloccocus aureus and the mycelial growth and spore germination of Helminthosporium sativum and possess a molecular weight of about 31 kD.

Key words: marine Paenibacillus polymyxa strain L1-9, antimicrobial protein, purification
